Frequently Asked Questions

Platforms like Sharpsell.ai help you build and scale your sales playbooks.

We help you scale deal-winning behaviours for large sales teams with dynamic product illustrations, real time learning, and personalised content.

Our platform ensures your sellers aren’t lost on the ‘how do I do this’ part of sales execution by helping them navigate through different stages of the sales cycle while adhering to the best practices.

Simply put - CRMs help your sales teams on the ‘what’ of your sales process. Sharpsell.ai helps them with the ‘how’ of the sales process.

A Learning Management System (LMS) is built for digitising your standard learning content. It is built for and  ideal to deliver regimented and structured learning with a focus on completion and certification. 

LMS platforms deal with ‘static content’ where the learners are expected to remember the learning gained during the training programs and apply it when needed at work. 

The best use cases for LMS are in scaling your compliance, new employee induction and leadership development initiatives. They are not built specific to sales teams or do not take their day to day challenges in account.

A Playbook Automation Platform on the other hand is built specifically with a focus on sales teams and their day to day challenges. Playbook automation platforms prioritise ‘dynamic’ and ‘just in time’ content over ‘static’ content. Playbook automation platforms make learning real-time helping a sales person when they need it the most - while engaging and convincing a customer and why your product is better. 

Playbook automation platforms go beyond just learning scores and deliver tangible results in terms of increase in sales activities and a measurable revenue impact. Sales playbook automation platforms can be closely integrated with the CRMs to ensure the learning is completely in sync with the sales process and to measure the learning impact seamlessly.

The purpose of a content distribution system (or a content management system - CMS) in sales is to make sure all the sales collateral is at one place and is easily accessible to the sales teams. The focus is to ensure sales teams don’t need to go to their mail boxes, local files, Drive folders or your website every time they need collateral that they need to send to a prospective customer.

CMS platforms deal with ‘static content’ where the learners are expected to know which content to use when, select the right  content, make changes, and personalise if needed before using it in sales conversations or sharing it with prospective customers.

Sharpsell.ai automates all of this. Our platform makes your content ‘dynamic’, ‘just in time’ and ‘personalised’. It recommends dynamic content  that can be readily used based on the stage of the sales process, customer persona, product that’s being pitched and the sales person’s experience.

Sharpsell.ai comes with dynamic product illustrations, configurable calculation engine, industry and role specific sales pitch and objection handling support, content automation and CRM integrations to ensure sales teams can answer any customer questions and make compelling sales presentations in seconds.
